Front Cover
The Kingfisher cover photo this month was provided by Buck-
den resident Peter Sharpe. As ever we are grateful to one of
our readers supplying a suitable photo to use.
We are always looking for photos, images, drawings and
paintings to use on the front cover so please keep sending
them in. Please note that photos should ideally be in portrait
format and should be a
minimum
of 2400 x 1700 pixels.
More is better!

June 2017
As ever a warm welcome to this edition of Buckden Roundabout. I say warm, but I am not entirely convinced that is
true! Summer, as far as I am concerned, is definitely not here yet!
As you are aware, the magazine is put together every month by a dedicated team of volunteers with Ian Carter as
the lead editor. This means that, for most months in the year, he is responsible for the layout and writing of the edi-
torial. You may have heard, and will see elsewhere in this edition, that Ian is now the Chairman of Buckden Parish
Council.
Although the magazine is underwritten by Buckden Parish Council, it is not any sort of official council publication -
and this will continue for the foreseeable future. Ian will continue to be part of the editorial team, and to ensure a
degree of separation, he will not be responsible for the Parish Council piece that appears on page 4 of every edition
of the magazine.
Please remember to visit the website. There are often articles there that we could not fit into the print edition, as
well as information that arrives during the month:
